“Emma was great with my dog Arlo! She came over first for a meet and greet and was super professional and courteous. I really appreciated the updates while I was gone and will definitely be using her again!”
“Denise takes such good care of our boys! They get excited when she comes over and hardly miss us at all! Denise sends us regular photos and videos and leaves the house just as she found it. We are grateful for her!”
“We are so grateful to have found Elizabeth to stay with our pets. She was awesome! We had great communication and she went above and beyond to make sure our pets and home were well taken care of.”
“Jada did a phenomenal job watching our two dogs! She provided thorough and timely updates every day, and she truly put me at ease knowing our dogs were in good hands. Couldn’t ask for a better dogsitter!”
About: I’ve cared for and have loved dogs for the past 20 years. I have experience with dogs and with diabetes and other special care needs. I’m currently a hybrid worker with a flexible schedule allowing me to work from home anytime. I will communicate with owners if there is any reason I would need to be away from their pet for more than 4 hours. I currently do not have any pets. I live in a second story condo with plenty of walking paths in the neighborhood and a dog park close by. My house is a calm environment for anxious pets.
About: Hello! My name is Leila (pronounced Layla), and I am 25 years old. I am looking for a role as a pet provider of any fashion needed. I consider myself a kind, nurturing, and supportive individual who loves every pet or family member as if they were my own. With over 15 years of pet experience, I have worked in shelter facilities and lots of individual homes with many different pets. Most recently, I've been providing nanny services for date nights in my area and every house has one or more fur baby that I spend my time with. I am familiar with feedings, walking, medication techniques, and even one house I sometimes help take their dog to the vet with them! I have worked with cats, dogs, ducks, chickens, rabbits, turkeys, and when I was younger, I had a house with horses as well. I've worked with up to 6 dogs at once, all big/energetic dogs, so I know how to handle big and loving energy haha! I even know cat and dog CPR from learning online and doing research on my own in case I ever need it. I love learning new facts about animals and pets, and I definitely love to learn the basics of emergency situations and care too, which always comes in handy whether you need it or not. I would love the opportunity to get to know you and your pet(s), building a special bond and friendship with everyone involved. I strive to be a dependable person and always aim to provide my best support to others. Hope to hear back from you soon, thank you for your time! I usually have an open schedule and I’m always happy to help however and whenever. I’m usually at home with my own animals anyways so I’m always down for more fuzzy cuddles! I treat each and every animal as if they were my own (and I spoil my pets like crazy)! I follow the instructions of each family down to a T if that’s what needs to be done and if there is any room for my own input or festivities, I always try to make it more fun or loving or easier for everyone involved. Pets have emotion and feelings just as much as babies do, so if you’re going to care for any animal, treat it as if you’re raising a baby, something precious and sweet, because that’s what they are.
About: I am an animal care professional with a degree in animal studies and over a decade of pet sitting experience. I have worked extensively with dogs and cats in environments such as boarding facilities, training centers, shelters and more. I am also familiar working with various exotics. Animal care is my passion and as your sitter I can guarantee the best possible care for your pet. I provide loving house sitting in your pet’s own home! I work full-time during the day, so pets should be comfortable spending the workday alone. I’ll be there for evening cuddles, care, and companionship, keeping their routine in mind while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my priorities! I’ll care for them in the familiarity of their own home, follow your instructions, and keep their environment clean, calm, and secure. I am here to carry out their normal routine as best I can while caring for them as if they were my own.
“Jaime is so fantastic! We’ve tried a few sitters and it just didn’t seem like the right fit until we met Jaime! She loves our babies and they love her right back! She sends lots of photos and videos and based on what they’re doing in the videos, I know it means they’re happy and it makes it so much easier for us to go away and leave them. Jaime frequently updates us on everything dogs and house. We truly appreciate her kindness and her love for our babies! Our 3 fur babies are looking forward to Jaime’s next visit!”
“Autumn was an attentive sitter! She communicated with us daily and went above and beyond. The house was spotless when we returned which was so nice to come home to! The best proof was that our pets who are typically very needy did not overreact or get clingy after our return which they have done in the past after we’ve been gone. Very grateful for Autumn!”
“Josie was so great with our dogs! She came over beforehand to meet them so I could show her where everything was. She sent me updates throughout the weekend and was great to communicate with. Will definitely be keeping in touch!”
“Dan was GREAT with my 2 mastiff puppies! They are a lot of work and here never once complained. I felt so relieved about going to work for the first time. I loved getting the updates as well as pics. The best part is they LOVE him!”
“Skye was fantastic with our puppy. We were especially impressed by how attentive and proactive Skye was — taking the time to learn her cues and routines, working with her on training, and even noticing things that helped us after we came home. Skye was incredibly organized, communicative, honest, and took initiative whenever something came up. We came home to a happy puppy who had actually made progress while we were gone. It was very clear that Skye put a lot of thought and effort into caring for her, and we would absolutely trust Skye with her again.”
About: I have been taking care of animals for majority of my life wanted to be a vet at a young age but chemistry kicked my butt now I'm a medical social worker. I even learned Dog CPR. My dog, Milo, I trained as a puppy is now a certified therapy dog. I work full time but my roommate is home during the summers. I love doing fun activities with my pups such as walks, hikes, dog parks or frozen towels with food for brain stimulation. Training and teaching are an added plus Fully fenced in yard and free ranged of the home if responsible but if needed we have a room we can set up a crate as well.
About: I have over two years of experience as a veterinary assistant in an emergency setting. I recognize early symptoms of common diseases and illnesses to better protect your pet while under my supervision. I also have two years of professional pet boarding experience where I became familiar with animal body language and overall care of pets. I am currently working a schedule where I am out of work around 2:30/3:00pm so I have lots of availability in the early afternoons to help out! I typically am relatively free on the weekends as well 🐶 I believe in treating the pets as I would like my own to be treated- with lots of love! I shamelessly baby talk animals, give lots of pets (if appreciated), and treats!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Macon is $44 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $56 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 911 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Macon. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Macon walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Macon maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Macon choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
